Government/Military Affiliates

As a leader in information assurance education, Capitol College's student body includes a high percentage of active-duty military and veterans. The college collaborates with government agencies and information security awareness organizations, including:

• National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security designated Capitol College as a National Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAEIAE). The program is an outreach effort designed by the federal government to reduce vulnerability in the national information infrastructure by promoting higher education in information assurance, and producing professionals with information assurance expertise.

• Maryland National Guard - Capitol College has formed a partnership with the Maryland National Guard that allows guard members to take up to 12 credit hours per academic year at one-half the full tuition cost. Capitol is the only institution that offers members such a substantial discount on graduate and undergraduate programs.

• Fort Meade Alliance - As a part of the Fort Meade Alliance, Capitol College works together with business and community leaders to promote and support Fort George G. Meade as an economic asset and resource to the region.

• CyberWatch - A consortium of higher education institutions, businesses, and government agencies in the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia region that is focused on building and maintaining a stronger information security and assurance workforce. In addition, CyberWATCH is committed to improving the quality and increasing the awareness of information security in the education and business communities.
